HC Deb 25 March 1996 vol 274 c416W
34. Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the current level of aid to Rwanda; what were the equivalent figures in the last financial year; what is proposed for the next financial year; and if he will make a statement. [20714]

Mr. Hanley

In 1994–95, the United Kingdom spent more than £45 million in bilateral emergency aid in Rwanda. In 1995–96 we have committed more than £7 million in bilateral emergency and rehabilitation assistance. In addition, we have contributed £41.5 million to EU actions since April 1994. Future pledges will reflect needs and the capacity of the Government and implementing partners to deliver assistance.
